The Framework Program in Global Health is a student fellowship that supports short-term research experience abroad to address global health issues. The objective is to enhance the recruitment of diverse students into research and practice careers in global health. The Framework Program has been jointly funded by the Center for Global Health and by a grant from the Fogarty International Center. Although the Fogarty grant recently ended, the Center for Global Health intends to continue this highly successful program. Please read below for updated information on the Program.

Details: Students must identify a faculty advisor willing to support their application and provide mentoring. Typically, the student will work at an international site where the faculty advisor has on-going research activities. Students will be selected to participate in hands-on research in developing countries or with key institutions engaged in global health research and practice. PhD research will not be supported through the program. The program includes $3,000 for undergraduate students and $5,000 for graduate students to support travel and field research for up to three months.
